Disgusting,

Podcast of a 3AW talkback with Dwayne Russell in charge, from early November, 2012. Stopped listening about 6 minutes in when CW joined in

Save yourself.

Disgusting,

Don't know why your raising this up again. It was published in November 2012, purely speculative and they did raise some fair points:

- We are in a crisis

- Draft picks would hurt us incredibly

- Even if we are low on the ladder we shouldnt expect sympathy/charged less

- The issue between charging the the club as a whole and/or individuals

In all honesty I like listening to this. I mean at least now we know it is only individuals who are going to be charged, Cameron Schwab wont face charges and MOST IMPORTANTLY we wont loose draft picks.

Dwayne Russell and Caro in the same segment. If Denham was given an opportunity to stick the knife in, it would have been the closest thing to radio hell this Demon has heard. That was nails down the chalkboard stuff.

I remember hearing it live, I don't usually listen to 3AW but when they wanted people to call in and suggest what Melbourne's punishment should be I almost drove off the road.

I've stuck to the position that the 'tanking' by MFC was no exception to the pattern established over a decade at least. In terms of 'justice' the isolation of the MFC, the apparent discrimination against it, is the very crux of the matter. Regardless of whatever McLean said, or Bailey, or anyone else (and numerous people are supposed to have said more than they should during all those many years, about several clubs), the AFL should have acted to resolve this as a 'generic' problem, terminating or changing sufficiently the system it created which led to this, and acknowledging its own part in it. No club, not MFC or Carlton or anyone else, should have been investigated in bringing the 'tanking' era to a close.

Radio discussions like the one linked, reveal nothing more than terribly inferior commentators or 'journalists' kicking a dog while it's down (something that few Australians will acknowledge is at least of equal power to the myth of the underdog); they are inherently biased, and 'personalities' like these, especially in tandem, are incapable of rising above their prejudices to look at the proverbial 'big picture' instead of the localised gossip.

The truly terrible thing is that the AFL for some reason - A. Anderson, perhaps, falling under the influence of someone who shouldn't have that much influence? - went for a ride with this idiotic approach, possibly this very radio program, and lost sight of the big picture in which the AFL itself is the main subject.

Why on earth was this thread started?

Why on earth was this thread started?

Because we are masochists and they are sickos who most likely when they were young, tore the wings off flies.
